@@himavanthdhanvanthri7401 Should’ve been more specific. I see now why you’re confused. Take music for instance. Everyone understands music. The singer may sing in a language you don’t understand. But music is a language everyone does understand. We all understand beats and rhythms. A singer can have a nice voice to listen to whether you understand or not. Music is an international language. Being accepted by an animal, be it a domestic pet or a predator such as a lion, too goes beyond the language barrier. Everyone understands the concept of acceptance and affection be it from a person or an animal. They trust you. You trust them. I’m a cat owner. I have two now and one of them didn’t instantly accept me. He avoided me and slowly grew to trust me and wants to be around me. His litter mate sister took right to me. I’m accepted and trusted by them. I’ve never encountered a lion. I don’t know if they’re like my house cats. How I scratch my cats may not be accepted by a lion. But to be accepted by a lion who could kill you in seconds, goes beyond the language barrier. Not spoken language,but the language of acceptance and trust from a lion an animal that can’t be fully domesticated. And no one wants to do anything that can accidentally tick off a lion. Love is a language of affection and trust. It needs no actual words. Trust is a language of sorts. It has to be cultivated. One doesn’t need actual words of a language. Obviously a lion can’t understand you telling him I like you. But they understand a gentle touch, they know what behavior isn’t threatening by you and they reciprocate. My cats know I love them. They don’t understand words of love but they show affection. And affection transcends words thus it goes beyond the spoken language barrier. Animals use body language. You learn to understand it. Humans use body language that you don’t need words to learn to understand.
SAME!! the inner child is SCREAMING "omg kitty!!! Eeeeee!!! * happy dance *" and my outer adult is saying...yep they gone be dinner... You can't predict they won't attack out of nowhere no matter how well they treat them. Lol
What a lot of you don't realize is that these are still WILD ANIMALS. It doesn't matter "how great the person is who raised them." It is instinctively natural for a wild animal like that to be ferocious AT ANYTIME. Anything could've triggered that animal causing everyone on that trolley their lives. Don't you people watch the news? It starts out just like this where the animal lives almost his entire life as the sweetest & gentlest creature, but one day, for whatever reason is suddenly triggered & attacks anyone in its sight. That was beyond negligent of whomever was in charge of that situation.
@@janicerogers6049 It doesn't take a wild animal. Cats snap all the time. I can't tell you how many times I have had my hand or ankle shredded by a pet cat that I know adores me. They just have that tendency to take their moods out on us. The difference is that a 10 lb. cat that snaps gives you some scratches and then apologize later. A 400 lb cat will remove your head. There's no coming back from that.
As I mentioned in my OP, I know it's a wild animal folks. I was just commenting on his magnificence. Realistically, I'd probably not hug one, I'm not daft.
If under constant kind human contact from birth - these big cats are very tame creatures - thus dependent not only on food - but on emotional comfort as well. I had two uncles who went quail hunting - were headed home - when a Bobcat jumped on top of a downed tree. They shot the Bobcat - and when they went to examine the kill - they discovered it was a mother cat - for inside the hollow of the downed tree - were three infant cubs crying. They brought the cubs home and attempted to feed them cows' milk with an eyedropper. There were two females and one male - the male accepted being fed with an eyedropper - the two females did not and subsequently, they died in a few days. The male survived and without the parasites of nature and an unearned - unhunted - constant diet supply of raw meat - that Bobcat named Bob - was extremely friendly - and a massive cat - bigger than most found in nature - due to a reliable diet. His coat was incredibly soft and with routine grooming - and constant attention from me (7 years old at the time) Bob was a house cat and I think he weighed about 38 pounds. Playful as could be - a loud purr - and a robust cry. And a night owl - staying up late watching the old black and white TV with the family until the national anthem and sign-off. When Bob was about a year and a half old - nature was born out of his maturity - and he got out of the house and ran away into the woods - never to be seen again - we figured a female in heat must have been in the woods - sent can cover up to five miles. I missed having Bob around - and today - I miss my grandparents and their farm - the greatest days of my life. Wasn't just Bob - through the years - two Raccoons - a squirrel - and an Owl - were accumulated wild pets. All were eventually freed. All that was missing was Ellie Mae.
I mean one nip in the neck with those jaws and that ladies head is detached from her body. What if something startles it or it smells something that it thinks is a territorial rival? I can't believe they let this happen honestly. There have to have been "accidents" before although it looks like it's been a while since one judging by the behavior of the staff in the video. There are so many incidents (high profile ones) of animals that were raised by humans since birth and still one day something didn't agree with them and they hurt / killed someone. They act mostly on instinct like all animals. Even people can snap and hurt other people one day after a lifetime of never hurting anything and in fact that is usually what it looks like.
Seeing the lion next to the man sitting made me realize how big lions actually are and that this could've really went wrong. It might want petted, but even house cats can tear the shit out of you if they're overstimulated
@@JamesAChambers Before visitors arrive - they feed the lions really well - full tummies (if they don't eat they keep them in their cage) - then they tranquilize these cats - so these animals are high as hell on opium and endorphins - thus all these cats are super calm - and their natural inclinations are in total la-la land - the chances of violence are extremely rare. Like never. Such feel-good drugs work wonders on women also. Women who have access to such narcotics are way less likely to file for divorce - but may be more expensive than the cost of a divorce. I read an article once in the American Trial Lawyers Association Journal - where 99% of all women will at some point in their lives - either hire or consult with an attorney. The other 1% work in the Porn Industry. Bill Gates's wife has divorced him - but then he is the nerd that named his company after his private parts - so that marriage was doomed from the start. I'm thinking about opening a competitive business to Microsoft - I'm going to name my company "Gigantic Firm."
i was thinking rhe same thing....if that had been my godmother Aunt Lou, she would not take any crap for her cats and sure as heck would make that Lion run for his life if he made a bad move.
Check out "The Lion Whispherer" Kevin Richardson. He runs a sanctuary for Lions,Hyenas,Leopards. Especially check out his interaction with Meg and Amy.
It is probably because these lions have probably been well socialized to get along with humans since they were cubs. I wouldnt dare do this in the wild. However, they still have wild instincts and while they could be friendly most of the time, they can still snap
He was REALLY scent-marking the heck out of that one older lady who was petting him and the guy in the back! There must have been something about them that he really liked. What an experience!
This is the friendliest lion 🦁 I ever did see 😊 ☺. I've seen lions be affectionate with their adoptive human parents but not with people who they barely even know. I know he's been sort of raised in captivity but this is truly a once in a lifetime event. They are social by nature but never did I imagine in a million years that a fully grown lion 🦁 would be this affectionate towards more than one person. These tourists must be having a blast 😃. I'm low-key jealous 😅.
eddy, same here. for those going through the comments, I've got good news. God is good because He gives His blessings to everyone, whether they be good or bad. but everyone has at least, told a lie, or stolen something in their life. and that makes them sinners, and God will not allow sinners in heaven; in His presence, because He is holy. so, God has to punish the sinners in hell, because God is severe and just. but God is also love and He made a way for some to be saved from His wrath. here are the steps: 1. admit that you're a sinner and are lost. 2. realize that the penalty of sin is death (hell). 3. believe that Jesus (who is God) died on the cross, was buried, then rose from the grave, to pay the penalty for man's past, present, and future sins. 4. trust Christ alone as your Savior, and not on your own good deeds to get you to heaven (nor a combination of your faith and self-righteous works). 5. pray to God NOW that you're accepting Christ's free gift of salvation because if you die before making this decision, it's too late, and you'll 🔥🥵😈 6. and to be a disciple, tell people about Jesus, read the bible, go to church regularly to know God's will for your life.
I'm not low-key jealous... I AM VERY JEALOUS!!! I know that its still a lion, but to experience a lion behaving like he's everyone's favourite kitten is once-in-a-lifetime. I'od be like the old lady; cautious but happy to pet this lovely fella!!
@@scottgilliam8185 Cats are cats my friend. They are awesome. I think every kitty thinks it is a lion...and lions...this one in particular....thinks is a kitty 🤣
He's so full of love & had an opportunity to give it away & in turn receive it, he needed his fix! He just couldn't seem to get enough of that Love & attention going back for seconds & thirds. He was also marking each one of them with his scent, making sure that he didn't miss anyone. I don't know his name but I think I'd call him LOVERBOY! This is absolutely precious & blesses my heart, thank Y'all for sharing it with all of us.🦁🎁❤️👏
Humans have the ability to kill too, these lions like most humans are tame. He’s a juvenile so relatively safe, its the adult lions in the background to be wary of.
First and foremost, I hope we all understand how dangerous that could be. BUT! On that note, what an incredible experience for those tourists. Lions are such magnificent, beautiful creatures. ♡♡♡
I agree. It is very unusual to allow visitors to a lion park to touch a lion older than about 6 months. This one is obviously very tame, but lions do fight among themselves, to establish dominance, and for food. Such a powerful animal could inflict horrific injuries very quickly if someone does something that it perceives as a threat or a challenge. Having said that, it does look like a wonderful experience.
🤣🤣🤣 He's just walking all through the buggy like "yes, yes I command all of you to give me pets and cuddles!!!' Meanwhile the other lion is laying there looking like "Nah, I ain't with any of that bs!!!" True cats, sometimes they demand your attention and other times they have zero f*cks to give about you! While they are majestically beautiful, I'll keep admiring them from a distance 🤣🤣
@@alpha-cf2oi If they drugged them, they would have to do that each time they bring in tourists which would be everyday. I highly doubt they do that cause it would turn the animal into a drug addict!
They don’t attack humans bcse they are hungry. They attack bcse they are instinctively aggressive and territorial. Even your family dog has the ability to snap without cause or reason. This isn’t right and those tourists are idiots!
@@ChocolateMilk.. Yeah unlike Tigers which not only are actually in India but actually do indeed live in the jungle. Makes you wonder huh. Edit: I didn't fully read your comment before I made mine whoops
I imagine the lion is like a little kid opening a box with the most adorable little kittens inside, and just had to say hi to every single one of them 🥰
I think he was eyeballing every single one of them trying to figure out which one internal organs would go well with that severed head that i would bite off too.
These lions must be extremely well fed and treated with great tenderness and love and must be raised from cubs and experience constant human contact to be behaving like this. Too cute ❤️❤️🦁🦁

@@Idkdude50 oh right I just watched 4 hours if lions in Africa it meens they are marking what belongs to them as food, they don't have human personalities we may see their behavior as love and compassion but it's a lot different in their world's, they love their mate yet they fight them and dig their claws and teeth into the back of their neck, and they love their cubs yet when they get older they fight them or chase each other off
She’s had very special relationships with people in her life, probably since she was a baby, and she has learned to love people! She gets so happy to greet people.
I love the way the cats crawled up into the laps of tourists and starting marking them with their saliva. Just like a regular house cat who marks the same way to show ownership. So cute, I wish I was there. 🦁
Lions by far, are the most human friendly of the big cats. They are very social creatures. I still wouldn't want to be that close to them, as they are still wild animals.
That Lion is well fed, groomed, bathed, vaccinated and tamed for the tourists to let him touch him and hug him in the vehicle give the owner a medal for his courageous work in training such a powerful animal.
A lion is never truly tamed. I watch lion safaris every day and know them well. If it becomes ill, scared, or senses someone it doesn't like, it can trigger them to attack. I despise them being in captivity as well.
@@Iconoclast1919 “captivity” stop the cap please… the lion is happy as a kid to have a life like this, he doesn’t need to look for food, he won’t get killed by other lions when he gets old, he can procreate easily, he isn’t at risk to get killed by poachers or hunters who will kill him for fun, do I need to go on?

@@tonyho5611 and you gonna sit there and guarantee us that?? Nice try! Lions will lion, raised by humans or not. I'm not rolling the dice on that one. No sir!
@@tonyho5611 ever see a 5 pound cat attack the person it was begging for pets & cuddles only seconds before? Now multiply 5×100 & calculate the damage a 500 pound male lion can cause to that same person. It isn't about being raised by humans. Lions are not and will never be domesticated & they will NEVER be safe. Their canine teeth are about 3 inches long each while a domestic cat's canines are about 1/3 of one inch long. A lions claws are about 2 inches long each.
Very cute. That lion was essentially scent marking every one of those guests to make sure that every other lion in the park knew that they were his. Whether he was essentially marking his food for later or making sure that the other Lions knew that these people were off-limits and one of them… is up for debate. LoL. Regardless, those guests definitely got a safari of a lifetime. Something they’ll never forget… And they have video proof of it.
Realistically they dont mark their food like that while its alive and moving around. And amoungst themselves cats do that to each as signs of love and affection so its not a leap to say when cats head bump and rub their cheeks on a stranger its a gesture of peace, affection and contentment.
What a beautiful, majestic animal. That’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to get that close and actually pet one of those big cats. I would definitely take that opportunity if I had it.
"Good" people don't go to heaven, because there's no such thing as a "good" person. The bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That is why we need Jesus who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. The only way to heaven is through Jesus. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

I laughed so hard at the end when the Lion ran everyone out the truck. This was so adorable and amazing to watch. I would have loved to have been there that day!
Those lion are denatured. In the sense they are raised in a very sweet way by humans and never had to hunt a living being for food They probaby dont even know meat they eat came from a living creature. They think its some kind of magic rock humans find and give them They also eat just before meeting humans. Just so hunger dont make them agressive
TBH it looked like a young "He" rather than a "She". But regardless, it think its quite dangerous. If the lion were ever to get bit more boisterous or playful, it could grab an arm or leg and severely injure the tourist with a mere shake of its head. Refer to a YT video of how a "brave" journalist almost got mauled by a playful juvenile lion.
I worked at a zoo most of my adult life,and there's great spot on comments here. Really risky,but super thrilling. Big cats that are human raised are amazingly similar to house cats,but if a house cat starts playing a little too rough,you can spank it on the butt and chase it away. I have to confess,I would've loved nuzzling with that big, beautiful kitty.
The same with wolves, you have to trust the individuum that it will not play rough or hit/bite you if angry. You can not trust every individuum among big cats or wolves, neither every house cat or dog. Depends.
you're so right Fretnes... it would be so amazing, but I would have to know the individual cat. I did zoo school as a kid/teen and got to handle all sorts of younger big cats, but we adults were in the areas we didn't go, only real zookeepers (we did get to go into their holding cage area, and all other back areas, but not into their enclosure proper). We never had much of a biting issue with the baby siberian tigers compared to house cats at the same age, so there's that at least... :D I handled lion cubs only a few times, but they were nuzzlers not fighters :D The baby orangutan just was thirsty but like a human baby liked to squeeze my finger while it drank from the bottle.
I would also love to have been on that trip, and it's great that it went well, but it could have gone bad in an instant. Some of the people were scared, which isn't good around a big predator, they were making loud noises, the one old lady swatted at the lion once- any of this can set a wild animal off. People should not be in this situation without training.
That lion is well loved and he knows it. To be so loving to visitors he’s had a great life and by the people he’s interacted with. Nature is truly amazing and beautiful.

It starts out just like this where the animal lives almost his entire life as the sweetest & gentlest creature, but one day, for whatever reason is suddenly triggered & attacks anyone in its sight. That was beyond negligent of whomever was in charge of that situation.
@@janicerogers6049 It doesn't take a wild animal. Cats snap all the time. I can't tell you how many times I have had my hand or ankle shredded by a pet cat that I know adores me. They just have that tendency to take their moods out on us. The difference is that a 10 lb. cat that snaps gives you some scratches and then apologize later. A 400 lb cat will remove your head. There's no coming back from that.
@@DoubleplusUngoodthinkful Cats can't be completely domesticated. They are still somewhat wild.

It takes a second for the lion to switch from cuddle mode to slaughter mode.
ask roy horn (siegfried and roy) how cuddly? but they are magnificent.
As I mentioned in my OP, I know it's a wild animal folks. I was just commenting on his magnificence. Realistically, I'd probably not hug one, I'm not daft.
@@Emsyaz same is true for humans. That's why when someone is murdered the murderer is very often spouse or someone related to the victim.
I'm not sure if I should marvel at how sweet this is, or be baffled at how dangerous this could potentially be.
my thoughts exactly
If under constant kind human contact from birth - these big cats are very tame creatures - thus dependent not only on food - but on emotional comfort as well.
I had two uncles who went quail hunting - were headed home - when a Bobcat jumped on top of a downed tree. They shot the Bobcat - and when they went to examine the kill - they discovered it was a mother cat - for inside the hollow of the downed tree - were three infant cubs crying. They brought the cubs home and attempted to feed them cows' milk with an eyedropper. There were two females and one male - the male accepted being fed with an eyedropper - the two females did not and subsequently, they died in a few days.
The male survived and without the parasites of nature and an unearned - unhunted - constant diet supply of raw meat - that Bobcat named Bob - was extremely friendly - and a massive cat - bigger than most found in nature - due to a reliable diet. His coat was incredibly soft and with routine grooming - and constant attention from me (7 years old at the time) Bob was a house cat and I think he weighed about 38 pounds.
Playful as could be - a loud purr - and a robust cry. And a night owl - staying up late watching the old black and white TV with the family until the national anthem and sign-off.
When Bob was about a year and a half old - nature was born out of his maturity - and he got out of the house and ran away into the woods - never to be seen again - we figured a female in heat must have been in the woods - sent can cover up to five miles.
I missed having Bob around - and today - I miss my grandparents and their farm - the greatest days of my life.
Wasn't just Bob - through the years - two Raccoons - a squirrel - and an Owl - were accumulated wild pets. All were eventually freed. All that was missing was Ellie Mae.
I mean one nip in the neck with those jaws and that ladies head is detached from her body. What if something startles it or it smells something that it thinks is a territorial rival? I can't believe they let this happen honestly. There have to have been "accidents" before although it looks like it's been a while since one judging by the behavior of the staff in the video. There are so many incidents (high profile ones) of animals that were raised by humans since birth and still one day something didn't agree with them and they hurt / killed someone. They act mostly on instinct like all animals. Even people can snap and hurt other people one day after a lifetime of never hurting anything and in fact that is usually what it looks like.
Seeing the lion next to the man sitting made me realize how big lions actually are and that this could've really went wrong. It might want petted, but even house cats can tear the shit out of you if they're overstimulated
@@JamesAChambers Before visitors arrive - they feed the lions really well - full tummies (if they don't eat they keep them in their cage) - then they tranquilize these cats - so these animals are high as hell on opium and endorphins - thus all these cats are super calm - and their natural inclinations are in total la-la land - the chances of violence are extremely rare. Like never.
Such feel-good drugs work wonders on women also. Women who have access to such narcotics are way less likely to file for divorce - but may be more expensive than the cost of a divorce.
I read an article once in the American Trial Lawyers Association Journal - where 99% of all women will at some point in their lives - either hire or consult with an attorney.
The other 1% work in the Porn Industry.
Bill Gates's wife has divorced him - but then he is the nerd that named his company after his private parts - so that marriage was doomed from the start.
I'm thinking about opening a competitive business to Microsoft - I'm going to name my company "Gigantic Firm."
he just walks over everyone. So friendly, adding his scent to them.
Yeap that's Alex
Small one, youngster lion. The adult one would be too heavy with its 200 odd kg of weight.

i was thinking rhe same thing....if that had been my godmother Aunt Lou, she would not take any crap for her cats and sure as heck would make that Lion run for his life if he made a bad move.
Literally😂
That's absolutely incredible, this lion seems to defy all the things we think about lions. I never ever seen a lion that friendly before.
until you turn your back on it
Check out "The Lion Whispherer" Kevin Richardson.
He runs a sanctuary for Lions,Hyenas,Leopards.
Especially check out his interaction with Meg and Amy.
Because these cats are well taken care of. Apparently the trust in their caretakers is so great that it spills over to other humans.
Because you’re thinking in speciesist stereotypes about lions. Don’t you think that’s cynical?
It is probably because these lions have probably been well socialized to get along with humans since they were cubs. I wouldnt dare do this in the wild. However, they still have wild instincts and while they could be friendly most of the time, they can still snap
He was REALLY scent-marking the heck out of that one older lady who was petting him and the guy in the back! There must have been something about them that he really liked. What an experience!
EXACTLY, I'm glad you recognized that, me too!!!
They catch the old and young for food. He went straight for her neck which is what they do with their prey.
Yeah it would be After marking his prey. If he went in search of them
YOU'RE MY NANA NOW and YOU! YOU'RE NOW MY UNCLE!
Yeah, he liked the guy's bald head.
What a playful lion!

This is the friendliest lion 🦁 I ever did see 😊 ☺. I've seen lions be affectionate with their adoptive human parents but not with people who they barely even know. I know he's been sort of raised in captivity but this is truly a once in a lifetime event. They are social by nature but never did I imagine in a million years that a fully grown lion 🦁 would be this affectionate towards more than one person. These tourists must be having a blast 😃. I'm low-key jealous 😅.
@LitReflex001 some even eated thier own owner with special bond
Ate. But yes always be careful
eddy, same here. for those going through the comments, I've got good news. God is good because He gives His blessings to everyone, whether they be good or bad. but everyone has at least, told a lie, or stolen something in their life. and that makes them sinners, and God will not allow sinners in heaven; in His presence, because He is holy. so, God has to punish the sinners in hell, because God is severe and just. but God is also love and He made a way for some to be saved from His wrath. here are the steps:
1. admit that you're a sinner and are lost.
2. realize that the penalty of sin is death (hell).
3. believe that Jesus (who is God) died on the cross, was buried, then rose from the grave, to pay the penalty for man's past, present, and future sins.
4. trust Christ alone as your Savior, and not on your own good deeds to get you to heaven (nor a combination of your faith and self-righteous works).
5. pray to God NOW that you're accepting Christ's free gift of salvation because if you die before making this decision, it's too late, and you'll 🔥🥵😈
6. and to be a disciple, tell people about Jesus, read the bible, go to church regularly to know God's will for your life.
I said the same thing they must treat this lion wonderful
I'm not low-key jealous... I AM VERY JEALOUS!!! I know that its still a lion, but to experience a lion behaving like he's everyone's favourite kitten is once-in-a-lifetime. I'od be like the old lady; cautious but happy to pet this lovely fella!!
Everyone’s scared but the one’s who got a hug from the lion will remember it for life for sure
So, will remember it to the end of that day then.

This case not dangerous but otherwise a never ever do eh.
Lions in the wild or more wild places are a nope.
This case its us stinkin adorable
yes truly
I agree. It is very unusual to allow visitors to a lion park to touch a lion older than about 6 months. This one is obviously very tame, but lions do fight among themselves, to establish dominance, and for food. Such a powerful animal could inflict horrific injuries very quickly if someone does something that it perceives as a threat or a challenge. Having said that, it does look like a wonderful experience.
Very, very, very well said, Julie!

Those lion are denatured. In the sense they are raised in a very sweet way by humans and never had to hunt a living being for food
They probaby dont even know meat they eat came from a living creature. They think its some kind of magic rock humans find and give them
They also eat just before meeting humans. Just so hunger dont make them agressive
That was the coolest thing ever! I bet those people will remember this for the rest of their lives. A lion that thinks she is a lapcat.
TBH it looked like a young "He" rather than a "She". But regardless, it think its quite dangerous. If the lion were ever to get bit more boisterous or playful, it could grab an arm or leg and severely injure the tourist with a mere shake of its head. Refer to a YT video of how a "brave" journalist almost got mauled by a playful juvenile lion.
Was an adolescent "he".
Not a she
Way too heavy to be a lap lion. Good manners would be -- to be taught to not get onto people, but hugs are good. Petting is good.
This is only possible due to the abuse the Lions have suffered. I wouldn't call that "cool".

How do you know the lions suffered abuse? Did they tell you?
I worked at a zoo most of my adult life,and there's great spot on comments here. Really risky,but super thrilling. Big cats that are human raised are amazingly similar to house cats,but if a house cat starts playing a little too rough,you can spank it on the butt and chase it away. I have to confess,I would've loved nuzzling with that big, beautiful kitty.
The same with wolves, you have to trust the individuum that it will not play rough or hit/bite you if angry. You can not trust every individuum among big cats or wolves, neither every house cat or dog. Depends.
Its animal abuse.
@@SusiBlumentopf Well a house cat won't kill us. They've been domesticated for 1000s of years besides that. Not like lions.
you're so right Fretnes... it would be so amazing, but I would have to know the individual cat. I did zoo school as a kid/teen and got to handle all sorts of younger big cats, but we adults were in the areas we didn't go, only real zookeepers (we did get to go into their holding cage area, and all other back areas, but not into their enclosure proper). We never had much of a biting issue with the baby siberian tigers compared to house cats at the same age, so there's that at least... :D I handled lion cubs only a few times, but they were nuzzlers not fighters :D The baby orangutan just was thirsty but like a human baby liked to squeeze my finger while it drank from the bottle.
I would also love to have been on that trip, and it's great that it went well, but it could have gone bad in an instant. Some of the people were scared, which isn't good around a big predator, they were making loud noises, the one old lady swatted at the lion once- any of this can set a wild animal off. People should not be in this situation without training.
He really loves the older woman 👵 ❤ A gentle giant. I love all of God's creation ✨️ 💜
That lion is well loved and he knows it. To be so loving to visitors he’s had a great life and by the people he’s interacted with. Nature is truly amazing and beautiful.
You are so naive.
@@pativi6643 prove her wrong in this particular lion.
@@pativi6643 You may not realize, but heaven is being brought to us here on earth a little at a time. Animals are the first to show it.
@@wandahastings8470 Yes! 6 The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling together;
and a little child will lead them.
7 The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 The infant will play near the cobra’s den,
and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.
9 They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 11:6-9

When you're walking around an all you can eat buffet and everything looks so delicious you don't even know where to start.
Exactly
LOL, ha, ha, ha, LOL.
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭
Reading the comments, it seems most of you are brave. If that were me, I would be terrified. Scratch that, I wouldn't even be out there in the first place. 🤣😅
I couldn’t have said it better. There’s just no way my psyche would allow me to even consider doing this
This means you have a brain and can use it. I love big cats, but this is so dangerous.
Me neither.
Same here. No effin' way.
You are right about that.
This video was enough for me.
“Pet a lion one day” - check
Marked off my bucket list.
Thank you TH-cam.
A lions dream come true. Tasty snacks delivered.
Omg thats so awesome. He was making sure everybody got loves and kisses. Just a big kid at ❤. I laughed and giggled watching the whole video.
you want to watch the videos of people who died from lions that were way way more careful can you see that this and your comment and comments like yours are so stupid it's an insult to those who were killed by lions
Amazing to see lions getting good treatment and kindness towards them and how they treat humans, a simple scratch can cause huge damage to skin but looking at the view is just amazing and to watch how humans and animals can live in harmony. An unknown human is part of the lion pride instantly, this is something mankind will remember forever for generations to come. Great work and respect to the people who are involved in running this park, this is not just a park, this is a safe heaven for all kinds of animals
Correction: humans and OTHER animals. Don't forget, biologically we are animals.
@@nathanieljohnson5908 we are not animals, we're human
@@AJ-dx6bn what do you think humans are? A species of animal. Idiot. Go back to bio class
@@AJ-dx6bn we are a species of primate, closely related to chimpanzees. We are mentally advanced but that still doesn't change the fact that biologically, we are animals. Get over yourself.
As beautiful as that lion is my anxiety is through the roof! I'm so glad nothing bad happened. People please respect wild animals they are not house pets!
Bro don’t worry they’re russians
Obviously they're not wild. They're in captivity... but I agree that this was unsettling.
@@Phyrre56 Yes, that's what unsettled me. What did you think I was referring to when I said that I found it unsettling? The camera work? The language being spoken? The fashion choice of the subjects being filmed? No... obviously I meant the giant potentially man-eating lion frolicking through a golf cart of potential snacks. Duh.
@@FuriousImp Taming a wild animal takes centuries. Man wasn't able to tame the lion and will never be able to do that. Lions are wild animals whether they are in captivity or not. What these people did was dangerous. I would NEVER EVER EVER have done such. Just a snap and someone's face would be ripped in pieces!
You ppl and your anxiety lol that's why the world is such shit
The Lion says after this Lion hug, you’ll never want a Bear hug again.😂😂😂
He's like just so everyone knows petting me is a VERY important part of the tour
nah he just wanna feel how human really taste like
MadiferCat: I love your comment! ♥😻♥
Her look at the Maine

Ohhh my... I need to meet this kitty b4 I die.... truly beautiful, innocent n trusting vibes
"it starts out with ooohs and aaahs, then there's running and screaming..."😂
😂
Nothing to fear. He's been raised by humans since he was a cub. These people are getting a real treat. You'll never get this many other places in the world ...a lion conservationist.
Even if the king is not in a mood.... it devastated everything 🤣
Crawling through like “Oh yeah, I’m going for ALL the pettins!!” 🥰
